Black screen on launch?

[Broseph]

Been playing this game like a maniac the past week or two and I love it, but ever since the latest patch the game won't start. It just loads a black screen and that's it.
I've tried:
1.) updating drivers
2.) uninstalling and reinstalling the game
3.) uininstalling / reinstalling k-lite codec pack
4.) changing between FULLSCREEN and BORDERLESS in the config files.

Is there anyway to get this to work? It worked perfectly fine for me before the update. Considering even reinstalling windows, but I feel like that shouldn't be necessary.
